MU is expected to win 3 points.
Following their crucial 1-0 victory over Chelsea, the door to returning to European competition is wider open than ever for Manchester United. Michael Carrick's side now needs just six more points to secure a place in the top five of the Premier League.
The upcoming match against Brentford at Old Trafford is not only an opportunity to accumulate points, but also a test of character for Carrick to solidify his position as head coach after this summer.
Despite having scored in 21 consecutive Premier League matches, their best run since the Sir Alex Ferguson era, Man Utd still showed vulnerability in defense, having kept only 6 clean sheets since the start of the season.
After their unexpected 1-2 defeat to Leeds at their home stadium, the "Red Devils" cannot afford another slip-up if they want to avoid losing their psychological advantage.
On the other side of the pitch, Brentford are experiencing a strange scenario: five consecutive draws. The "Hornets" haven't won since February, even though they haven't been trailing in any of those matches.
With only a two-point gap to the top six, Brentford still have high hopes of qualifying for European competition, especially given their impressive away record (only one loss in their last 11 away games).
